<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 1747410, member: 44140&quot;]I believe in this case the name is the same as the Persian ruler. Ardashir used the same name, Shapur used the same name and even later Shapur II used the same name. I would be inclined to think that the coin is the same Hormizd of the late 3 rd century. This is the period of direct Persian rule over the Kushans. If I am not mistaken you do not see the crown princes until after Peroz (Faruz), during the Hephthalite/Kidarite period. Then you see a gap in direct Persian rule from about 400-600 ish AD. I would be inclined to think that this coin is from the first Indo-Sassanid Period, when Zoroastrian religion was a must.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
